About: My family has never not had a dog in the home! I take my pup, Maggie, to the dog park and on hikes constantly (little dirt won’t hurt)! I have also been a volunteer at the HSDC since 2020, caring for scared dogs and walking 80+ ibs of muscle. I love to pet sit and cuddle up on the couch with any animal, truly think that is what calms my soul! I also have experience pet sitting hamsters and chameleons, really any animal is a friend of mine. I’d love to come meet your pet and become besties!! I recently graduated from tOSU and currently am living at home with my mom and pup. I am a caregiver for elderly patients and my schedule is kind of all over the place. Check my calendar for my availability and message me with any questions! I love to give love and make sure every animal gets the care it needs! I ensure that all animals get the exercise they need to thrive and stay entertained/ stimulated. Previously, I have home sat while dog sitting and hamster and chameleon sitting (all at once)! I will always respect your privacy and space, making sure to leave the home in the best/ normal conditions.

“Five stars to Devon!!! She’s the best dog walker ever. She cares so much for our fur balls and I know they are in good hands with her. Very trustworthy. We’re moving out of town and so sad we won’t have Devon to walk our dog after this month. She even got our pets a going away present. Unexpected and so sweet!!!”

About: As a German Shepherd Husky owner, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Raising a high-drive breed has given me hands-on experience with confident leash handling, safe play, and providing the physical exercise and mental engagement active dogs need. Safety, reliability, and patience are my top priorities. Whether following strict feeding routines, managing high energy, or ensuring a calm de-stressing environment, I care for every pet with the same vigilance I give my own. You’ll always get prompt communication and daily photo updates for total peace of mind. I’m currently looking for work so my schedule is open! Let me know what you typically prefer when it comes to your pet care and I should be able to accommodate. As a German Shepherd/Husky owner, safe handling and environment control are second nature to me. My home is set up to keep pets comfortable, secure, and stress-free: Double-Door & Leash Protocol: I maintain strict door awareness to prevent door-darting or escape attempts. Leashes are always secured before doors open. Hazards Picked Up: All electrical cords, small household items, human food, and toxic plants are kept out of reach at all times. Controlled Introductions: I never force interactions between animals. All pets are introduced slowly and on-leash in neutral areas to ensure everyone feels safe. Routine & Medical Adherence: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, crate routines, and medication protocols. Emergency Preparedness: I keep contact info for your preferred vet and the nearest local 24/7 emergency clinic on hand at all times.
About: I've had pets for my entire life, whether they be dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters or even snakes. I have always been active in the caretaking of my family's pets. I am the go-to dog sitter/walker for multiple households and am trusted enough to be given my own keys as well as garage codes. I always do my best to make sure the animals are well taken care of and to keep my client's home clean. I am a college student, and as such have a significant amount of free time. I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. I always attempt to center my daily schedule around any pet care that is on that day. I do not currently offer dog boarding, but I always take great care to ensure that my client's home remains intact and sanitary. I make sure to only use dog food/treats provided by the pet owner to avoid potential complications involving diet or allergies. I also take steps to avoid potentially exposing my clients to any allergies that they may have, such as peanuts.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, until the recent passing of my family dog. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a BS in Animal Sciences. I have worked at the Columbus Zoo, dog boarding facilities, and vet hospitals so I have a pretty good understanding of dog health and behavior. I am pretty low-key, so I try to be as calm and accommodating to all dog personality types. Whether you have a quiet senior or an excitable puppy, I can bend and mold to your doggo's needs!

If you are looking for Housesitting during the weekdays, I am able to take requests on a case-by-case basis. I have a cat of my own at home. Out of respect for both your pet and my own, I typically prefer coming to you and providing care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Pets stress less when they are able to remain at home in a familiar space. I will treat your home respectfully and
About: I have worked in a humane society and own two dogs I have raised from puppies! My oldest is almost 7 years old and my youngest is almost 2! Im currently working part-time at a bakery thursday-Saturday. Thursdays and Fridays I’m available after 2pm and Saturdays I’m available after 11am.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life—to me, they’re more than pets, they’re family, and I’ll treat yours with the exact same dedication. Recently moved to Sunbury 😊 I grew up with a classic black lab named Midnight who put up with all my childhood nonsense (including but not limited to Halloween costumes and getting pulled around in a wagon for fun) - she was the pinnacle of family dogs for 14 years before we lost her to cancer. Eventually we got an American Eskimo of which I named Sage and was allowed to help train with guidance. She was loving when she wanted to be loved and learned tricks like fetching the newspaper from the end of the driveway (when that was a thing). Sage was always my buddy in middle school and high school, she filled my days with countless memories for 13 years before we had to let her go also to cancer. My family now has a tiny, sassy American Eskimo which you’ll see in pictures but in 2020 I began to look for a dog I wanted to add as the first member of my family. As soon as I saw this mini Australian Shepard I knew she was the one. She was adventurous, loving, energetic and is my absolute ride or die ❤️ I cannot picture my life without her. Throughout high school and college I volunteered at the local shelter to feed, bath or walk dogs. I had a family member who also did and sometimes we would foster dogs together if we could make it happen with work I grew up with chickens, ducks and dogs and was usually the girl to care for neighbors animals when they needed. Animals have and always will be apart of my life and family. I’m fairly flexible! I work as a contractor and just moved to Sunbury so I’m f open throughout the day and open to weekends or last minute drop ins if needed. I am happy to care for your dog or cat however you need. Every animal is different with a different personality so I’m happy to do a meet and greet so you can walk me through specifics! I have a 6 year old mini Australian Shepard that I cannot imagine my life without. She plays stick several times a day with me or goes on walks/hikes/whatever adventures. When I do my workouts in the morning I pay the treadmill treat tax and every night she gets night snacks usually in the form of a greenie. So no request is too ridiculous!
About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!
About: Being a pet owner myself I know how important it is to have someone takecare of your fur babies while you're away. Someone who can shower them with attention, care and love. With over a decade's experience I'm trusted by families to provide a safe, loving and dependable care for pets of all ages. I am currently at home full time and hence have ample time to cater to these babies. Over night stays, day care or custom schedules available to fit your pet's needs. I have a friendly dog who can keep your fur baby company. We'll go out for walks, explore the neighborhood and do much more apart from just the regular potty breaks. They'll always be under supervision.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years now. I have lived in Powell all of my life and have posted on the local facebook group for petsitting and walking and have acquired numerous clients!

About: I’ve been a dog owner and lover for many years…and I’ve been a cat’s human for many years as well. I’ve got a 9 month Bully/Boxer puppy that loves naps, long walks and my homemade dog ice cream. I’ve also got a Russian Blue that also loves naps, long walks in his backpack and stealing toys from the puppy 😄 I currently have a lot of flexibility to work around you and your fur family’s schedule. I can also do multiple daily visits if you are going out of town and want to avoid kenneling. I am not open to having other animals in my home…it’s already a zoo in here! I can walk in your neighborhood, or take to your preferred dog park.
About: Hey y’all! I have had a dog in my house since I was 5 years old. My parents had two dogs growing up and now I have one of my own. She is my world. I love caring for all animals and I know how hard it can be to find a good place to have them cared for when gone. Sooo - I wanna provide that for you! I currently work as a coach at orange theory so I have a lot of free time in my schedule. I work weekdays but my shifts are only about 4 hours long. So I can come almost at any point of the day to check in with the animals. Depending on what you are looking for, I’d check in on the animals throughout the day, play with them, walk them, feed them, etc., I want to make them feel as loved as possible while their human is away 🤍
“Magdalena was outstanding! She was very attentive and caring with our dog, and she engaged with him in different ways, including walks in the neighborhood and the nearby park and playing with him in the back yard and inside. Our dog gets anxious when we have to leave him at home, but she really helped mitigate his anxiety. We will gladly use her services again!”


About: Hi! My name is Tiana, and I’m 23 years old. I’m currently studying Pre-Veterinary Animal Sciences at The Ohio State University and working toward my bachelor’s degree. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals! I also have previous experience working in a veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for pets who may be older, anxious, or have extra needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! As of august 25th I will be back fulltime at the ohio state university. I have classes on campus from 8am-3pm. I offer pet care for morning, late afternoon, and evening, only on WEEKDAYS. However on WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS, and LONG WEEKENDS, I am available for 24/7 care! I will send texts, pictures, and videos of all activities that your pet and I will do. From playing together in your living room to even snagging a pic of potty time, I’ll make sure that you know your pet is being cared for and safe. I will also give daily updates and tell you what we did for that day!

Samantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldn’t be home alone all day! ☺️

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Africa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
